with plenty to say about horror further
elevated by a rock-solid performance by
Jessica Roth we can’t wait to see where
they take it in the sequel I’m back
don’t wait people who’s this crazy wacko

moment we start those machines is the
moment we’ll end up getting out of them
and right got it sorry I don’t want to
be standing around when they do yeah
many considered this low-budget deja vu
movie by shane carruth to be one of the
most meticulously planned out
time-travel stories ever crafted primer

dive deep into the tech and discover a
time looping effect that allows them to
profit off of same-day stock trading
what do they do
what do you mean what is it was this

know it doesn’t matter I’ll imagine that
the price goes up you know on the bottom
some other the number stairs were
trained he’s not an effective price when
they realize that their seemingly
perfect plan is yielding unexpected
consequences however they soon find that
it’s far more difficult to undo the
effects of time travel than they ever
could have imagined it’s the sort of
film that you have to re-watch a few
times to really understand which seems
appropriate but it’s brilliant the
normal this isn’t normal for the
no for people you think it’s the machine
like I got it
number five source code cool bomb the
Train
I don’t know if I’m the goddamn train
then go back and try again
back where directed by noted film auteur
Duncan Jones and starring Jake
Gyllenhaal source code is another
complex exploration of time travel so I
captain Colter Stevens a US Army pilot
is tasked with operating an experimental
device that allows him to not only live
out the last eight minutes of the life
of another person but also control that
person’s actions effectively creating
alternate timelines his mission stop a
train bummer for Stevens this is
understandably exhausting and as he
begins to learn more about the specifics
of the device and his body a more
personal narrative develops adding to
the already tense and compelling sci-fi
premise I’ll ask Raj I’m asking you I’m
asking you just send me more number four
in this beautiful unique exhilarating
and exhausting German thriller franka
potente plays the titular Lola a young
woman who must secure 100,000 German
marks or around fifty six thousand US
dollars within 20 minutes or her
criminal boyfriend Manny will be killed
the film revolves around the concepts of
fate destiny and self-determination
while also exploring how small actions
and differences of as little as 30
seconds can drastically alter the course
of one’s life over the course of the
film’s literal running time
Lola relives those 20 minutes three
times each version playing out very
differently not only for Lola but for
the people she interacts with as well it
was nominated for dozens of awards
winning many including the Audience
number three edge of tomorrow by me when
you wake up watch come find me when you
wake based on the Japanese why a light
novel all you need is kill edge of
tomorrow was set in a world in which
humanity wages war against an invading
alien race the mimics Tom Cruise plays
William cage an Army officer working in
media relations who’s forced into combat
by a superior after killing a mimic on
the battlefield the blood of the alien
seemingly kills him only for cage to
suddenly wake up having jumped back to
the previous morning trapped in a loop
video game style cage begins training
and learning from each battle before
crafting a plan to secure a major
victory it is a thrilling ride further
elevated by great performances from both
crews and Emily Blunt number 2 memento
remember Sam Christopher Nolan has
established himself as one of the most
prominent and influential directors of
the 21st century crafting some of the
most memorable films of the past few
decades though more than one of his
movies could be considered game changers
memento remains the film that really put
him on the map and depending on who you
ask is perhaps his best I don’t have
amnesia
I remember everything right up until the
incident I’m Leonard Shelby I am from
San Francisco that’s who you were you do
not know who you are this deja vu
psychological thriller is a meticulous
exercise in nonlinear narrative told
across two overlapping timelines
following a man with anterograde amnesia
who can’t form new memories trying to
track down his wife’s murderer it’s
fascinating
challenging utterly unique and it works
on so many levels what’s the last thing
my wife that’s sweet dying I remember my
wife dying before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions Tom lost part of his brain in a
hunting accident his memory only lasts

number one Groundhog Day it’s fair to
say that many of the time looping films
on this list likely never would have
been made had it not been for this
hilarious heartwarming and admittedly
groundbreaking comedy directed and
co-written by the legendary Harold Ramos
and starring Bill Murray Groundhog Day
follows TV weatherman Phil Connors who
finds himself reliving February 2nd
Groundhog Day over and over again I
could never love someone like you feel
because you’re never loved anyone but
yourself that’s not true I don’t even
like myself give me another chance it’s
widely considered one of the best
comedies ever made and while it may not
be quite as complex as some of the other
DejaVu films discussed today it’s
enduring influence cannot be overstated
if there’s one deja vu film we’d want to
be stuck watching day after day it’s
Groundhog Day
